PEOPLE across Inverclyde can help out at an environmental project this week.

Friends of Coves Community Nature Reserve are hosting a 'Stomp the Braken' event on Wednesday from 2pm.

Participants will help with flattening the ferns near to Mallard Crescent and prepping the land to allow new saplings to be planted.

No experience is needed and the event is free. Equipment and PPE will be provided.
